Stacja – Half-Life

for Half-Life

This map is set on a space station. It’s very linear and square. Every corridor seems to end in a right-angle corner. The lighting effects are really good but the enemies simply appear out of nowhere and that really bugs me. Similarly ammo is left strategically lying around. I have not finished this map because I got stuck in an elevator bug and didn’t have the motivation to reload from my last save point. I could go on about what’s wrong with it but I won’t.

Will this be the best Half-life map you play today? Only if it’s the ONLY Half-Life map you play! Should you play it? Yes, why not.

The combination of weapons and enemies is really strange.I had to fight zombies with handgrenades, controllers with AR grenades, 30 sounddogs with just the shotgun, etc. The decor is nice, but always the same. It’s just corridors, elevators, and the usual button/door puzzles. However, it is consistent, with the theme. Which is, get off the station, in your escape pod. There are no bugs, except the hl1 elevator bug. In one case, I kept getting stuck to the floor of the elevator, and the only solution was to jump out, just before it reached the end. However, you don’t need to cheat.

Yup it’s a flee-from-a-spacestation-map. There’s nothing more important to say, just find a way out.
I did not recognize any bugs except a controller was blocking the elevator up until it smoothly passed through it
The spawns are annoying but also surprising as it seems they don’t stop, but they do. Unfortunately there is no spawn sound, so it’s often like: “What the heck?? I just killed you.. and your brother!”
